South Florida kitesurfer recovering after shark bite

DELRAY BEACH — A kitesurfer is recovering after being bitten by a shark in the waters off South Florida.

Kurt Hoffman of Delray Beach says the attack was so fast Saturday that he wasn't sure what had happened until he saw more than a dozen jagged puncture wounds on his left arm. He pulled himself back onto his board and yelled to his friends about a shark. His wounds were treated at a hospital.
